Hi, I'm James. Eternal dilettante and purveyor of nonsense, much of it about #Python, physics, and #cycling. I take part in #Monsterdon most Sundays at 9 PM ET.

the most important part of #Unicode history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016)

#Monsterdon explanation

#Monsterdon is a weekly fediverse community event (Sundays @ 9 PM ET) where a bunch of folks watch a monster/SF movie of some description in sync with each other and post about it. Partial list of past movies: https://wiki.neuromatch.social/Monsterdon#Movie_List

All are welcome! Look to the
#MonsterdonAlert tag if you want to see annoucements about upcoming movies.

I will pin this post to my profile when I am participating in the event. If you do not want to see these posts, mute the tag and/or me!

thinking about how there's a true solution to the trolley problem and union workers were the ones to point it out

I mean, I'm sure they would turn you away if you tried to just show up, but like… would someone notice? would it error during transaction?

just stepped ankle-deep into someone's edge case there

I wonder what happens if you buy a ticket for a listed private event (it does seem to let you do this)

Another bug: looks like Alamo lists private events in their JSON API, so I'll have to put in a special rejection filter for those

yep, I figured it out, I was discarding shows that had already appeared on other days rather than just consolidating repeated showings of the same movie on the same day

easy enough fix, change the 'seen' key to a tuple of
(date, film_id) instead of just film_id

OR MAYBE NOW-SNOOP

I think I figured it out

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io

hmm, uh oh, looks like I'm missing some showings for Somerville Theatre though

well, that's a problem for tomorrow-Snoop, I guess

it's 35mm projection too :D

yet another example of this calendar doing EXACTLY what I want it to do:

cool, there's a showing of ASHES OF TIME on Sunday. CHUNGKING EXPRESS is the only work of Wong Kar-wai that I've seen (it's also showing, on Saturday) but I would love to experience more of his work
and scratch the martials-arts movie itch
